Yeah it's a constant uphill battle. 3 of our 4 restaurants are in MoCo. Keeping them fully stocked at all times is next to impossible. The county is ALWAYS out of something important. I get tempted to go purchase products in the district, but that carries a hefty fine.

We had an ABC guy walk into our bar in NOVA and someone was marrying bottles, huge fine!

As crazy and as rare as it sounds I do know of at least one grocery store in MD that sells beer and wine; The Safeway off of Briggs Cheyney Road off of Route 29. It's quite possible that the liquor laws vary by county.
MD is very county-centric with the liquor laws

MoCo being a govt run county, calvert county some of the smaller independent grocery stores carry the full array, in charles it seems you have to go to a liquor store (pretty much all of them are beer/wine/liquor), and the hours vary everywhere

I can't keep up

I loathe MoCo DLC.

But Maryland is awesome! I wouldn't trade being from the DC Area for anything.
Yeah that's how it was when I did mgmt with the VA ABC.. though we were pretty accommodating (well depending on the store manager).. was just a pain when olive garden/red lobster, etc wanted to place and pick up an order from 7-8pm on a freaking friday night when we're packed

we pretty much let people know what alternatives we had and if we knew what was coming in on shipment when it would be back.. they drive a lot of sales so we were very appreciative and let them know about new product and recipes

lol that sucks.. which location?

we special ordered stuff just for restaurants all of the time.. hell we special ordered stuff for ourselves, other customers, etc

I always got to get the last look at the order because it was in a college town and I knew about the trends more so than the older guys

Hefty fine, temp loss of license (this KILLS repeat business as customers will see you as shady), often a loss of employment

the monopoly sucks though.. do you guys get it sans sales tax?

Re: Drunk Thread

OK, so I had a terrible day at work and my wife made me the biggest panty dropper I've ever had in my life. I think it has wine, vodka and some other crazy kind of liquor. I think she wants the hot love. She wants to eat at Mexican tonight so we have a tradition of doin' it, then going to have some burritos and call it Sexican.

Well at least you're getting that out of the way first. Having mexican first could lead to some issues later on.

Re: Drunk Thread

I woke up with the worst headache today. It's a rare occasion that the wife tries to seduce me rather than the other way around, but sometimes drunk sex isn't the best because you kind of don't remember it.

And no mountains... just fields. I drove my tractor to the Mexican place and then we just rode cows back because I needed a DD.
